Korean cephalopods only recorded with Korean name in the literature were reviewed to solve confusions in use of their Korean name for taxonomic studies of cephalopods in Korea, and to prepare a basic check list for standardizing total cephaolopods fauna of Korea in the future. A total 38 cephalopods species with Korean names were listed in this study; 14 species in order Sepioidea, 17 species in Teuthoidea, 7 species in Octopoda. The etymology and some problems of Korean names of cephalopods occurring in Korea, and the useable rules for naming cephalopods with Korean words are recommended and discussed.

One specimen (13.4 cm ML) of Chiroteuthis picteti belonging to the family Chiroteuthidae, firstly collected from Songjeong, Southeast coastal water of Korea on May 18, 2013. It was identified as C. picteti based on the following combination of morphological character: mantle slenderly cylindrical; fin oval shape, both lobes having no anterior free lobe, FL 58.2% of ML; arms long with a formula IV > III > II > I. We propose a new Korean name, "Kin-pal-o-jing-eo-gua", "Kin-pal-o-jing-eo-sok", and "Kin-pal-o-jing-eo" for the family, genus and species, respectively.

In this study, an attempt has been made to analyze the morphology of Cephalopods distributed in Korea and collected samples from South-East Asian countries including Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and China. A phylogenetic analysis was performed using the mitochondrial gene, Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) to understand the genetic divergences of the species and validate their origins. For achieving the objectives, samples were collected directly from Thailand Hat Yai, Songkhla, Indonesia Medan, Vietnam Ho Chi Minh, and Vung Tau in August 2015 and from China in September 2015. A total of 23 species of Cephalopods were identified falling under three orders, four familyies and nine genus. The species were distributed under Order: Octopoda (1 family, 3 genus, and 9 species), Order: Sepiolioda (1 family, 2 genus, and 8 species), and Order Teuthoidea (2 family, 4 genus, and 6 species). 23 species which is 1 family 3 genus 9 species in Octopoda, 1 family 2 genus 8 species in Sepiolioda, 2 family 4 genus 6 species in Teuthoidea. Phylogenetic analysis using COI gene was conducted for 18 species. For the remaining 5 species sequencing results showed severe variation and hence were not considered further. The COI phylogenetic analysis for the 18 species of Cephalopods were found consistent with the morphological identification. The excluded species will be subjected for a further detailed analysis.
